AjaxDo you already have a rotoshave? If so, how do you like it? I'm trying to hold off in the hopes they'll let me know about the cartridges before then but with it being X-mas and all I probably will have to take the leap of faith.Regards,scott

i use this shaver daily and actually dont need to replace the cartridges until 4-6 months of use.

Hi Scott,Thank you for your reply -- I appreciate it! Went to the link you provided and put in my request to be notified when they get more in stock.Still hoping someone can tell us how long a cartridge lasts on average -- 20 bucks is pretty expensive for just 2 of them, although I noticed they're currently offering a 20% discount with free shipping, which would help a bit.

I have been using this razor for over 3 years. It is by far the best Razor I have used, better than anu of the many electric razors I have used and equal to any single or multi-blade hand shaver. The battery type last a very long time, as the batteries can last months. The blades are very long lasting also, I usually change when I feel the shave is not as close as it should be, about 3 months.

Hello Ajax,My husband just received the razor in the mail and is wondering, too, about how often one needs to replace the blade. One per week would be a minimum of $520/yr, that is if he bought two blades at a time and didn't have to pay shipping.

Hello Ajax, I am about to purchase one and had the same questions so I googled it. I found that you can get them from the company here: http://www.emjoi.com/detail/EMJ+AP-3RB2. However, they are listed as out of stock. I have an email in to see when they'll be back, if they'll be back. I hope so as I'd hate to have obsolete equipment upon arrival.

yes, Jorge, it comes with cartridges. My next plan is to replace the cartridges. It costs more than my printer. Would you recommend to replace or refill the cartridge? Thank you so much!

Worse than that! I just spent weeks going around and around with them because they told me I had to buy a replacement. (after a lot of ink purchased). Long story short... they offered reconditioned ones for around $75 (7520 version) which I did not want since they are junk as new (but since I had all the ink I wanted something). They offered a $75 coupon that I could use to buy a new one from the HP site. We ordered a 6520 for around $25 after coupon. Keep getting escalated if they don't offer a new one. If it wasn't for the ink I would not buy HP again.

Replacement cartridges are available from most stores that sell the unit. You should ordera few extra at the same time.

I've heard also that remanufactured ink voids the warrenty and then I've heard that the printing companies are not allowed to void our warranties because of which ink we choose to use. In my opinion, it does not matter either way. Todays printers are relatively cheap so if it comes to my printer malfunctioning because of my choice to use remanufactured ink, then so be it. At that point, I would just purchase another printer instead of dealing with Hewlett Package. We are only talking about a little over $100 to purchase another printer. The same price of what I would pay for their genuine ink if I was brave enough to spend that kind of money on ink. Until that time, I will use remanufactured ink without any worries, concerns, thoughts, or even feeling guilty of using third party ink. I have been using remanufactured ink for over a year. In order for me to buy genuine ink, I would have to be forced against my will to make that type of purchase. Never again!!!!!!! Don't be hesitant cause you have nothing to loose, only $$$$$ to gain.

It depends on how much you print, I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Just refill ink cartridge again and again. You can do this several times before having to replace cartridge. I don't have to replace cartridge maybe once a year instead monthly as before. One thing is that make sure you clean your printheads every time you refill cartridge also. I know that it's used ink but it also give lives to the cartridge. I hope you find this helpful

Yes to both questions. Replacement cartridge cost will easily exceed the purchase price of the printer over time but that's typical for most printers. Also dealers for replacement cartridges are limited but I currently use suppliesguys.com Hope that helps.

I was ble to refilled the starter cartridge 5 times using various toner supplier on Amazon! I bought and am currently using a universal cartridge that was about $25 for several fills! I bought a new drum cartridge after almost 14,000 copies ! Prints great!

I've had mine for almost three years and with the exception of changing ink cartridges frequently, have only good things to say about this printer. After market cartridges may be cheaper, but they don't last line Cannon cartridges.

If you buy extra filing cartridges I think you could share the electric Emjoi. I wouldn't want to use one that someone else used. I have had battery operated and electric...love the electric! Battery powered is not powerful enough....just my thoughts.

I already have had this printer for appro 10 yrs. Has been very good & reliable until now. Was having the same problem. Found new driver. Added cartridge. Added paper (of course). No paper stuck in the feed area. Finally talked to a tech that I trusted - & he told me that this printer was past it's lifespan. So I have bought a new one - sometimes you just have no choice. You could take it in somewhere - or have someone out, but it would probably cost more than the printer. Sorry.

The first cartridge did not work. As a result I looked up a way on YouTube to reset the original cartridge for continued use. In the mean time the folks at Cartitech asked me to return the faulty cartridge. At the same time Cartitech sent me a replacement cartridge and responded promptly with sincere interest to my emails. The replacement cartridge is waiting until the reset original cartridge quits. We don't print a lot so this could be a couple of months. In my opinion Cartitech seems very interested in providing quality products. I think you can rely on them to provide a good product. I probably got a dud. They went out of their way to get a replacement to me. I feel they are trustworthy. The first cartridge did not work.

Mine kept printing for awhile after I got the "replace ink" message. Also, it is my understanding that the ink cartridges that come with the printer are generally sample cartidges and do not contain as much ink as the full, replacement cartridges. While that seems kind of crummy, I think most companies that supply cartridges with the newprinter are doing that. When I was shopping for this printer, I was suprised to find that many companies have stopped including any ink with their new printers!!

DON'T buy the replacement cartridge. They are difficult to install and if they bend, it's over. Gaskets can also be a problem. Replace the entire unit. It costs a little more, but it is very easy to install and removes any gasket or other problems. Been there, done that. Good luck.

thanks, cannonball (clearly a jazz fan!)...i've had this canon since 2007, and this is the first time i've hated it...any thoughts as to who offers the best online deal on cartridges? staples and office depot want almost $90 for the color and black...price has gone up $40 in 6 months. insane.

It's very difficult to find a replacement ink for this pen. I've had to purchase 3 of them because I can't find one that fits. I've gone to Office Depot, office max and tried online but the ink don't fit. It's almost like you just have to keep purchasing the pen. I've sent an email to papermate regarding a replacement ink but never heard back. If you do find one that works, please share the info. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have to replace mine. I purchased from amazon another's name cartridge did not fit, and they would not take it back. Totally waste of money all the way around. I am selling mine at garage sale.
